Status 2 - W friendlier but still very distant

[fb2]

Today W realized I really meant business and that she actually had to go get her own auto insurance and its expensive! This is something I've been quietly paying for an entire year while W has exclusively driven the brand new car. She was given 3 weeks notice but still thought I'd continue to be a sucker. Well, she called me today mad as hell. I was taken a bit unawares trying to validate her nonsense while I had the kids with me so I'm not sure I did a very good job since I was also feeling a bit unwell. But I stayed on the line and kept my cool till she hung up on me. This happened twice today. I indicated to her that this was a consequence of the disaster of divorce but she blamed me for it just as she talked a few months ago.

So it seems to me that as long as W is coasting along with all expenses paid she's fine. Each time she gets a jolt like this she flies off the handle.
